Abstract

Multi-View Stereo (MVS) has always been a challenging problem. Existing reconstruction methods mostly rely on convolutional neural networks, which limits the ability of the network to capture the global context of images, resulting in a lack of a certain complete representation of the final depth map. In this paper, we propose a Global Context Complementary Network (GCCN), which aims to enhance the complete representation of depth maps with a global context complementary learning strategy. Specifically, for the feature maps, we first exploit the advantages of convolution neural network (CNN) and self-attention to extract 2D local features and long-term dependence information, respectively. Thus, GCCN achieves maximizing the preservation of the complementary information. Furthermore, in the 3D cost volume regression stage, in order to obtain richer 3D depth information, we design a Contextual-feature Complementary Learning Module (CCLM), which utilizes global feature interaction in the cost volume to achieve complementary learning of cost volumes at different scales. We conduct experiments on the DTU benchmark dataset and the Tanks and Temples dataset. The results show that our approach achieves significant performance compared to state-of-the-art methods.
